    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Hi all. Has anyone done business with Harry Wessels from Monster Snakes? I've been talking to him about doing a trade on a Platinum male retic, but needed some info first. Any help is greatly appreciated!

Call Wes Harris, He and Harry seemed to have partnered up with some Crap..
 
he is a top notch guy, and i have done business with him and i will continue to do business with him and I will never have to wonder if its a good idea or not i will just know its a good idea :)
 
Stratking... didn't realise you were a customer of Mr. Wessels. Was pretty sure you were a representative and global moderator of his site...

I have never done buisness with the man and never would for any reason...
 
I have not actual paid cash for anything from Harry. But he has given me several thousand dollars in Retics in the past. Because we are good friends and he is helping me to start my own retic business. I know of several people that have brought snakes from him with no problems what so ever. And over the years he has given away thousands of dollars away in contest. So I would say he is one of the best guys out there. Not to mention that he is sponsored by NERD, BHB, Big Apple and several other extremely big people in this industry.

Ok, another mod... is there anyone who is not a mod on monsters that has bought from Harry? I would like to know what non biased people think...
 
About Harry

Have done buisness with Harry and Brenda many times over the years without any problems, anyone looking for the best retic morphs on the market should check out there stock! Jim Ellioitt
 
There's a Jim Elliot who goes by BigJim on monstersnakesforums.com, he's another moderator. Isn't it interesting that this person feels he has to keep having his moderators post positive feed back about him here? He must really want to do this trade with the platinum as to go this far to give himself positive feedback. Sounds like I myself will have to remember to stay away from this guy in the future.
 
Harry and Brenda of Monster Snakes are good people that have a passion for these reptiles and all animals in general.

I won a photo contest a few months back on Harry's forum....... www.monstersnakesforums.com.

Well the prize was this beauty pictured below. She was produced BY Harry & Brenda of Monster Snakes. Harry honored my prize and she was shipped to me next day air in perfect health with NO flaws what so ever! If you deal with Monster Snakes...you are going to get a Quality Retic.....Hands Down!!

I think everyone should sign up on monstersnakesforums.com, we know they will appreciate the members. That way people can look for themselves. Kaotik94 is another global moderator there.

First of all.....

I was not a moderator when I won the Retic.

Second....the OP was asking for an inquiry about Monster Snakes. So I gave him some info that may be helpful.
 
That is true. However there are no unbiased people posting positive reviews here as of yet. Only Moderators. Regardless of how you feel about the man, this looks very, very bad.

I don't see how this looks bad at all. I know for a fact that Harry is friends with almost everyone/done business with. ....and as far as wanting this Fire Retic, you need to take a look at the date this thread was originally posted and the date it was bumped. I know for a fact this trade didn't happen and its not going to happen. Not that Jesse or Harry have a problem but Harry decided he didn't need another Fire Retic after all.

Hey you don't have to take my word for it.......just take a look at his forums, website and his animals and they speak for themselves.

...and ya I am posting here on this thread because I AM Harry's friend..........He HAS ALOT OF THEM !!

Just MY biased opinion....lol
 
Off to a roaring start aren't ya John? You just joined BOI today and already sound like an antagonist pro.
My guess is you have been lurking for awhile.
Let me ask you, have you bought anything from Monster Snakes? If so, how was your transaction?
If you haven't bought anything from Monster Snakes, then why are you acting like a jackass?

his friends are mods. his mods get free snakes. In all honesty, Harry Wessels has only ever hatched 2 clutches in his life. He's had more eggs in the incubator than that, but the only babies that survived was one clutch out of his female tiger, and one other clutch out of his female lavender. He really hasn't done business with all that many people. And of the ones he has, he has ripped off a few and owes some people some money. But it's not my responsability to tell those stories, it's theres. Maybe some of them will chime in.
 
Lancehead,

You are correct, I have lurked here for a long long time, I normally don't post, I only read because I buy alot of animals. But when I saw this, and the deception of Harry parading his mods up here to give him positive feedback and pretend they were customers, I had to say something. I'm not trying to be an ass, just trying to expose what is really going on. I have never bought anything from Harry, and was actually considering it, until I saw this. I read monsters every day. And this was simply wrong. It's just not a good way to do business. Let his actual customers speak up. Not his representatives claiming to be customers.
 
If one of the mods gets a chance and doesn't mind... could the IP of Sylvias be checked against other users? Specifically "Jason Bourne" and "Esoteric-Lizard"- although if they match up with anyone I'd be curious.

If nobody has anything good to say about him except those who moderate on his website, it's sketchy but not damning.

If nobody has anything bad to say about him except people who aren't following the full name rule, that's usually going to indicate baseless accusations but it's not redeeming.

If one searches for the term "Monster Cages" or "Wessels" they get a large number of threads. Some positive, some negative, some by sources that seem credible, others by sources that clearly aren't.

Dude he has hatched well more than 2 clutches and not just of Retics. I think you John..are here just to stir crap up...but whatever. Do your thing.

I think the mods here need to check the IPs of JohnAppleBee.

I'm not a moderator for Fauna, but you might want to check the rules for the BOI. Anonymous third party accusations aren't allowed. Might want to avoid them or you'll potentially face post deletion and conduct warnings.

Rules are stickied at the top of the forum if you haven't read them lately.
